but it can happen.
I agree. That's one of the things that's bothering me now. So much
is made of 'death not being the worst', most people not being ghosts
because they're not afraid to die, and Harry even wanting to die
when Voldemort is possessing him. Not to mention that now Harry
knows (or strongly suspects) that Sirius, and his parents, are on
the other side of that veil. I can see Harry vanguishing Voldemort -
I can't believe that won't happen, whether it's Harry or somebody
else (after all, no prophecy is ever guaranteed true, didn't Firenze
tell us so?) - but then Harry deciding it's time to join up with
those that have gone before (including all those yet to die in books
6 & 7).
Interesting bit about the veil, btw (assuming I'm interpreting it
correctly) - it's a common image in mysticism of the hiding of this
world from the next (post-death). I remember some lines I had in a
Halloween play - "this time of year, the veil between this world and
the next is lifted", or something to that effect.
